Flextronics Software Systems Unveils Next Generation WiMax Signaling Solution
- FSS’ SigASN enables TEM’s to quickly develop WiMax Mobility (802.16e) Solutions
Gurgaon, India, 25 May, 2006 - Flextronics Software Systems (formerly Hughes Software Systems), a global
end-to-end communication solutions provider today launched SigASN, a signaling framework for developing the
WiMax Forum defined ASN Gateway. FSS' SigASN, a platform-independent software-signaling framework, enables
Telecom Equipment Manufacturers (TEMs) to quickly develop ASN Gateway, a key component for enabling mobility
in WiMax networks. FSS SigASN, based on 802.16e specifications, provides a modular control plane implementation
and open interfaces for user plane (Fast Path) integration.
WiMax has already established itself as a next generation technology with ideal
credentials in the broadband wireless space for point-2-point applications. Moving forward, the
transition from IEEE 802.16d to IEEE 802.16e is inevitable. However, the challenges that accompany this
transition are not just higher data rates and radio bandwidth efficiency, but a plethora of issues related
to handoffs, roaming, and authentication within a WiMax network. This necessitates the need of an ASN Gateway,
which addresses the complexities related to mobility.
Elaborating on the launch of SigASN WiMax Mobility framework, Mr. Suresh Kabra, Assistant Vice President & Head of Products, Flextronics
Software Systems, said, "WiMax is rapidly gaining momentum as it enables delivery of next generation IP based services to users".
"FSS' SigASN is the first of its kind, complete signaling solution for the WiMax Forum defined ASN Gateway and can be used to deliver
full mobility solution in a WiMAX (802.16e) network. SigASN will enable innovative TEMs to gain early mover advantage in the Wireless
Mobile Broadband space." He added.
FSS' SigASN solution will help TEMs rapidly develop a complete ASN Gateway of the required network configuration over a platform
of their choice, by integrating the WiMAX standard's based software control plane solution from FSS. In addition, FSS specializes in
offering customization and integration services that enable the development and creation of a complete ASN Gateway solution, including
the fast path engine.
